  1. Wow! LOVE the whole setup. I just went back to bed the first day of school, I mean it felt like a day that would never come!! Good thing we are in school year round, I can plan on making something so awesome like this after their fall break. Never too late 🙂

  2. It takes a little to get back into a school schedule. Our homeschool is starting this week. We just got home from visiting my family in Ohio. We are taking a couple days to get unpacked and settled back in and then we will jump into school. I’m thinking it will be good, as you said, to have a couple days and then the weekend!

    Love your photos and the placemats. I’m thinking they would make a good Christmas list idea!

  3. Hello to teacher-meetings for me & the hubster {school starts next week!}. Sniff, sniff! Hello to time with Grandma and big cousin for my girls, and hello to my husband’s birthday Saturday!

  4. Oh Lisa, you did such a sweet job making the day special…I wish I could do that but I’m more the run-around-like-a-chicken-with-it’s-head-cut-off kind of person! I did manage to make mini muffins, though…and I’m linking up!

  5. Hi Lisa! I have a 5th grader too, and a 1st grader! I love what you did with your table…what a sweet way for your boys to start their new year. I have to order those place mats, my kids will love them! Thanks for the inspiration, I’m going to do a little something on our table to make my kids’ first day special too.
    I hope your boys have a great school year! Your hair looks great…I like it either way! 🙂

  6. Lisa, you look awesome with the darker hair!

    Love the chalkboard placements. The table decor looks so inviting. Looking forward to a regular routine next week (when school starts here) and colder temps.

  7. Thank you for sharing. It’s a neat way to have a “to do” list that is a bit more creative than my standard paper and pencil. Maybe it will help this visual learner stay on task.

  8. Love love love the dark hair! Been thinking of going darker myself…..but then whenever I have a baby I do something a little more drastic afterwards….this time I might do it just a few days before 🙂
